Sometimes it's the first thing some times when I go to lunch at work. It only lasts a fraction of a second and then goes away. the problem can't be replicated reliably it just seems to happen when it happens.

Good afternoon,

It would be best if I could hear it. It could be something internal or external but hearing would help.

Can you take a video for me when it happens and attach it here?
